Both main events were pretty lack luster. Good win for Isaac would like to see a CBS rematch down the line or other British rivals

Gilley vs Greene was an excellent scrap, one of the best domestic dust ups of the year, had Gilley ahead 115-112, thought Terry O'Connors card was harsh llf, Greene hurt Gilley with an uppercut in the 1st and you thought we might be in for an early night but Gilley came right into it, his body punching is top drawer, especially for a tall guy, creased Greene with a left there in the 5th and put him down ,he was starting to pull away but Greene came back into it, dangerous with that leaping left hook, great shot against a taller foe then Gilley come back, it was bombs away with no holding or ref interference, both guys gave and took some huge shots but kept coming back into it, amazing to watch, Greene never gave up hope but Gilley clung on in the end, respect

Wtf was that showing from Lawal? I've never seen a more feeble display of giving up being British champion in my life, not to mention adding the Commonwealth strap, I generously gave him the 9th but it was a horrendous effort overall, boxed the same in the 12th as he did the 1st, no urgency, no change up ,nothing, Chamberlain wanted it more, controlled the tempo, launched attacks then went back to boxing, about as easy as it gets, he looked ready for a firefight early, cut loose a few times but realized it wasn't needed, Lawal presented no danger so Chamberlain boxed cruise control to a wide decision

Just goes to show being musclebound, unbeaten with a reputation as a puncher means nothing if you can't land a punch.

There's no middle ground with the cruisers, they're either all action or supremely dull

Was a fantastic fight and the sportsmanship on display at the ringside interview was just brilliant to see .
Anyone wanting to get excited about boxing should watch genuine fights like that and not the absolute dross on display last weekend, they could learn a few things on how to conduct themselves from these guys too .
